Princess Louise of Lorna.

Princess Louise gave an undoubted i'm
petus to fine art in Canada when she was
there. She got to like the clear, cold
climate, the effects of snow and frost on
lake and forest, and the fast-rushing and
full-flowing rivers; but the accident she
met with when riding in covered sledge,
by injuring her health, spoiled her capac-
ity for enjoyment, and obliged her to re-
turn TO Europe to seek at European water
ing places q cure for nerves that were
permanently affected. She quickly got to
feel that the Canadians were Of indie
pendent character and in the democratic

THE SHIP OF DEATH,

THE SHIP OF DEATH.
When silent lies the sleeping town,
Unknown TO human ken,
Another ship goes sailing down,
Bearing the souls OF men.
She is the ship OF shadow mist
OF mist and mournful gray;
There is no gloom of amethyst
About her pallid way.
As silent as that dim ship came
She steals into the dark;
She is no ship OF mortal name,
But an eternal bark
Her deck is thronged with shadows wan,
She will not pause or stay,
So speedily she bears them on,
All on an unknown way.
But sometimes when the dusky tide
Hath filed the widening stream,
That wan and shadowy ship will glide
BY the ship Of song and dream,
Whereon the watchers dimly know
terror in the dark,
A pallor; but fading glow
Pushes the shadowy bark

THE SHIP or DREAMS.

THE SHIP OF DREAMS.
When silent lies the sleeping town
In its profoundest rest
Z There is a ship comes sailing down
Upon the rivers breast.
/ Wide winged as that enchanted swan.
She saileth through the night,
And purple grows the gloom upon
The magic OF her fight.
The bark, she bears no mortal nAme,
No crew OF mortal mold,
ulyssus' ship OF song and fame,
OF cedar wood and gold
She is the ship that Turner knew
On the enchanted seas;
She floats far isles OF music through,
And isles OF memory.
And she is mystically fraught
With dreams remembered long,
That drift on all the tides OF thought
And all the seas Of song.
She hath Ulyssus by her helm,
As in the oldcn time;
This ship of a diviner realm,
And OF fairer cline.

Canght Ry a Badger.

Talking about badgers and their
biting powers, said California
sportsman TO correspondent Of the
New York Commercial advertiser, Il
know OF a case where one nearly killed
q man, and in a mighty curious way.
ID was down in Texas. A Young fell
low was visiting a ranch there, and
was in the habit Of going hunting for
several days at time, sometimes rum
ming down to town near by So
nothing was thought of it when he
didn't show up for three days. Finally
q telegram was brought him concern
ing some important business, and the
ranchmen began to hunt him up. To
their surprise they found that he had
not been at the town, or even been
heard Of there. Parties were now or
ganzed and sent off in various direc-
tons where it was thought likely he
would 20 On the second dav the
party went into a little gulch and one
Of the men raised cry and pointed
ahead There was the missing man
lying fiat on the ground, face down.
They rushed up to him, but he
couldn speak. and when they tried to
lift him they found his arm was fast
in u Burrow. Something had him,
and they were not long in finding out
what They went to work and dug
down for about two feet, and came
upon a big badger lying, bracing
back, with its teeth fastened tight
through the boys hand. 1t didn't
take long to fill the animal with bull
lets and cut off its head Even then
they had to pry open its mouth with
bowie-kuife before they could release
him. They packed the boy home, and
the next day he was able TO speak.
He was almost dead with thirst The
badger had held him for five days.
Another day would have finished him.
1T seems that he had seen little
animal run into the hole. which he
took for young badger, and, drop
ping his rifle, he lay down and ran his
arm in as far as he could and began to
feel around for the young ones, when
he was suddenly grippcd. At first he
pulled and hauled with all his power,
and then he tainted away, and the arm
began to swell SO that he could not
move, and any attempt to- dig away
the soil, baked hard only made mat
ters worse. So there he lay. gradually
dying from hunger and thirst every
move making the ferocious animal re-
new its hold.
If all the instances like this could be
collected they would make interesting
reading. In the South Pacific "a gigan-
tie she'll, the tridUna gigas, is found,
which weighs about 500 pounds, and
men have been caught in it mt low tide

~'"A SUI L ne H. NJ. = hJNlhh-
lie so full of vicissitudes ended in a placid
Old age and peaceful death in his quiet coun-
try seat-a striking though mournful ~illustra-
ton of the great peace that has settled upon
the land since the terrific struggles over slav-
cry, war and reconstruction.
Mr.. Hunter was born in Essex county,
April 20, lSOg-born a politician, one might
say, as his voice was heard in local debate
even before his majority, and he was a party
leader as soon as he was a voter. Educated
at the University of Virginia and the Win
chester law school, he was admitted to the
bar i'm 1880, and soon after served three years
in the legislature. In 1887 he was elected to
congress at the early age of 20; was reelected
in 1889 and 1871, defeated in 1913, again
elected in 1916, and while serving that term
chosen to the United States senate, which he
entered in December, 1S47, and never left
till the war began, in 1861. In the Twenty
sixth congress he served as speaker at the
early age OF 50. Indeed, like Henry Clay, he
presented one of those rare instances In which
the mind attains the fullness of its powers
very early, and yet retains them unimpaired
to the last day Of n long life. During the
doubtful days of the early part Of 1861, Mr..
Hunter remained in the senate till its adj
jourrment; the secession of Virginia followed
two months after and he was formally ex-
PEELED at the called session in July, as he hud
actively taken sides with the seeded states.
He was a member of the Confederate con-
gress and Confederate secretary of state; was
one of the noted peace conference, meeting
Lincoln and Seward at Hampton Roads, and
nfter the collapse of the Confederacy was ar
rested by the Federal authorities, but soon
released on parole. In 1867 he received n
pardon from President johnson and again
entered public life, serving as state treasurer
of Virginia. Thereafter he retired from
service and soon closed his active and some
what stormy life almost on the very spot
where it began.
